तं वाचया मधुरया परमार्थदर्शी मारं ब्रवीत महिमण्डगतो महर्षि ।
आकल्पकोटि कुशलोघसमन्वितस्य वचनं नरर्षभरुतं नरपुंगवस्य ॥ ६७ ॥

taṃ vācayā madhurayā paramārthadarśī māraṃ bravīta mahimaṇḍagato maharṣi |
ākalpakoṭi kuśaloghasamanvitasya vacanaṃ nararṣabharutaṃ narapuṃgavasya || 67 ||

But he who had vision of the highest good, the great Seer on his throne, replied to Mara with melodious speech. His words perfectly befitted one who was endued with an ocean of virtue and had the tone of the bull-voice of the “Bull-Man.” (67)
